Objective:To explore the short-term oncological efficacy of the total prostatic urethra preservation（TPUP）technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and its impact on postoperative urinary continence rate.Methods:The clinical data of 17 prostate cancer patients admitted to Shaoxing People’s Hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The age was（70.5 ± 6.5）years，the body mass index was（23.6 ± 2.5）kg/m 2，and the prostate-specific antigen（PSA）level was（7.845 ± 3.929）ng/ml. The preoperative biopsy pathological Gleason score were 6 in 8 cases，and 7 in 9 cases. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy，and the TPUP technique was used during the operation. The integrity of the preserved urethra was improved by preserving the prostatic surgical capsule closely attached to the corpus spongiosum of the urethra. During the operation，the urethra was completely preserved in 2 cases，nearly completely preserved in 14 cases，and partially preserved in 1 case. The recovery of urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was recorded. Recovery of urinary continence was defined as pad within 24 hours. PSA was re - examined at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation. Results:All 17 operations in this study were successfully completed. The operation time was（143.6 ± 31.6）minutes，and the intraoperative blood loss was 50.0（20.0，50.0）ml. None of the cases was converted to open surgery，and no Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 2 complications such as blood transfusion or intestinal injury occurred during the peri-operative period. The PSA levels at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation were 0.054（0.008，0.215）ng/ml and 0.008（0.005，0.037）ng/ml，respectively. The indwelling catheter time after the operation was（13.4 ± 2.1）days. The number of cases with recovered urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was 10，15，and 17，respectively.Conclusions:The TPUP technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy leads to good recovery of postoperative urinary continence，and there is a slowly PSA decrease in the short term.

Objective We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shengxuebao Mixture in the treatment of cancer-related anemia(CRA)presenting with syndrome of deficiency of liver and kidney combined with syndrome of deficiency of both qi and blood.Methods A randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,multicenter clinical trial was conducted.Eligible patients with malignant tumors meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled from 26 hospitals,including Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,Xiaogan Central Hospital,and Yangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,from June 1,2022,to September 30,2024.Patients were allocated 1:1 to either the experimental group receiving Shengxuebao Mixture or the control group receiving its simulator(placebo)using a block randomization method under double-blind conditions.Both groups received 15 mL orally three times daily for 28 consecutive days.The primary efficacy indicators included the hemoglobin(Hb)improvement rate(RHb)and the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome improvement rate(RTCM)at week 4 of treatment.The secondary efficacy indicators encompassed Hb and red blood cell(RBC)count,Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)score,TCM syndrome score,individual TCM symptom scores,and changes in each of these indicators compared to the baseline period at weeks 2,4,and 6 of treatment.Safety evaluations were conducted at week 4 of treatment.Results A total of 239 patients were enrolled,with 225 cases included in the Full Analysis Set(FAS)(109 in the experimental group vs.116 control group),163 in the Per Protocol Set(PPS)(77 vs.86),and 225 in the Safety Set(SS)(109 vs.116).Baseline characteristics between groups showed no significant differences.Significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in RHb at week 4(FAS:49.51%vs.35.24%,P<0.05;PPS:53.25%vs.36.05%,P<0.05)and RTCM at week 4(FAS:61.54%vs.39.62%,P<0.01;PPS:64.94%vs.40.70%,P<0.01).At weeks 2,4,and 6,the experimental group showed greater improvements in Hb and RBC counts than the control group.Additionally,the TCM syndrome scores were lower in the experimental group than in the control group at these time points.Except for week 2 in PPS,the KPS improvement was better in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).The experimental group also demonstrated a greater reduction in scores for individual TCM symptoms such as spiritlessness and weakness,poor appetite and reduced food intake at weeks 4 and 6 compared to the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Furthermore,the reduction in vertigo score was more pronounced in the experimental group at week 6(P<0.01).For the score of pale and lusterless complexion,only in the PPS was the reduction from baseline more significant in the experimental group than in the control group at weeks 4 and 6(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in the incidence of all adverse events or drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion Shengxuebao Mixture demonstrates significant efficacy in patients with CRA presenting syndrome of deficiency of liver and kidney combined with syndrome of deficiency of both qi and blood,effectively increasing Hb levels,ameliorating TCM syndromes,alleviating clinical symptoms,and enhancing functional status,with no significant difference in adverse drug reactions compared to the placebo.

Objective To accurately depict the actual tongue position of vowels in pinyin based on ultrasound tongue image(UTI),and accordingly propose targeted pronunciation training strategies to improve speech rehabili-tation and teaching quality.Methods Forty-five pieces of pronunciation material containing the six vowels a,o,e,i,u,ü(covering all the rhymes in Mandarin)were selected,and 16 subjects aged 20～25 years old with a proficien-cy level of Mandarin 2A or above were recruited to collect speech and ultrasonic data simultaneously.When process-ing the data,segmental labelling was first performed with Praat,then AAA was used to extract the coordinates of the tongue shape and palatal line of the target segments.Finally,the actual tongue positions of the six pinyin letters were determined based on articulatory tongue position comparison.Results Vowel a has[A]and[ε]2 types of tongue positions;o has[o]1 type of tongue position;e has[?],[e]and[?]3 types of tongue positions;i has[i],[(ι)]and[(ι)]3 types of tongue positions;u has[u]1 type of tongue position;and ü has[y]1 type of tongue posi-tion.A retroflex vowel is a vowel target tongue position followed by a tongue curl stroke.Conclusion ① The rhymes are classified into 11 categories,which allowing for a more accurate and systematic teaching.② The six vowel ultrasonic data provides a visual means for learning vowels,which is more intuitive than the traditional pinyin teaching.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of combined plasma gluconic acid(GA),fumaric acid(FA),and pseudouridine levels at admission for acute kidney injury(AKI)in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods A total of 78 elderly AMI patients transferred from Emergency Department to Coronary Care Unit in Fuwai Hospital during Decem-ber 2021 and July 2022 were enrolled in this prospective study.They were divided into AKI group(40 cases)and non-AKI group(38 cases)according to whether they developed AKI during hospi-talization.Plasma levels of GA,FA and pseudouridine were quantitatively detected with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.ROC curve was plotted to assess the predictive value of these three plasma metabolites for AKI in AMI patients.Multivariate logistic regression analy-sis was applied to analyze the clinical risk factors for AKI.Results There were no statistical differences in the plasma levels of GA,FA and pseudouridine between the AKI group and the non-AKI group(P＞0.05).ROC curve analysis revealed that the plasma levels of the three indicators had no predictive value for the development of AKI in elderly AMI patients(AUC=0.576,95％CI:0.449-0.704,P=0.246;AUC=0.595,95％CI:0.467--0.721,P=0.154;AUC=0.563,95％CI:0.435-0.692,P=0.337).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that left ventricu-lar ejection fraction(LVEF)was an independent predictor for AKI development in elderly AMI patients(OR=0.923,95％CI:0.870-0.978,P=0.007).Conclusion Plasma GA,FA and pseud-ouridine cannot predict the development of AKI in elderly AMI patients,while,LVEF is an inde-pendent predictor for the development.

BACKGROUND: Limited published research has examined the relationships of negative life events and coping styles with sleep quality in Chinese junior high school students. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of poor sleep quality and to clarify the role of coping styles between negative life events and sleep quality. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 3081 students was conducted in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, Southeastern China. Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index were applied to assess negative life events, coping styles, and sleep quality, respectively. Descriptive analyses, independent-samples t tests, one-way analyses of variance, Pearson correlation analyses, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied to analyze the data. RESULTS: The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 26.7%. Negative life events (B = 0.038, P < 0.001) and negative coping style (B = 0.049, P < 0.001) demonstrated a positive association with poor sleep quality, while positive coping style indicated a negative association with poor sleep quality (B = -0.029, P < 0.001). Interactions of negative life events and coping styles with sleep quality were not found (all P > 0.05). The association between negative life events and sleep quality was mediated by negative coping styles. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that poor sleep quality was common in these Chinese adolescents. Negative life events and negative coping style were associated with an increased prevalence of poor sleep quality, while the positive coping style was related to a decreased prevalence of poor sleep quality. A negative coping style mediated the association between negative life events and sleep quality.

Objective:To establish a drug-related problems (DRPs) classification system for outpatients and home patients and provide healthcare staff with tools for standardized recording of DRPs.Methods:DRPs classification systems-related literature were collected by searching foreign databases. The selected DRPs classification systems were compared and analyzed, and the initial DRPs classification system was formed by integrating the characteristics of pharmaceutical care for outpatients and home patients in China. The expert consultation form of DRPs classification system was made, expert consultation was performed for 2 rounds using Delphi method, and the final DRPs classification system was formed through modification and adjustment according to expert opinions.Results:A total of 25 DRPs classification systems were obtained, of which 16 were selected and then integrated to form the initial version of the DRPs classification system. The primary structure of the initial DRPs classification system consisted of 5 parts: problem state, problem type, problem cause, problem intervention, and intervention result. Each part had different number of items, among which there were different number of secondary structure items in problem cause, problem intervention, and intervention result. In the first round of consultation, 32 experts were invited and 30 consultation forms were collected, with a recovery rate of 94%. In the second round of consultation, 30 experts were invited and 30 consultation forms were collected, with a recovery rate of 100%. After 2 rounds of consultation, the acceptance rates of experts for the question state, problem type, problem cause, question intervention, and intervention result in the primary structure were 100%, 90%, 83%, 83%, and 97%, respectively. For the evaluation of 5 categories of drug treatment (indications, effectiveness, safety, economy, and compliance) in DRPs classification system, except for that the expert authority coefficient of economics was 0.79, the expert authority coefficient of the other 4 categories of issues was all >0.8. In the first and second round of consultation, the coordination coefficient of expert opinions was 0.386 ( χ2=995.258, P<0.001) and 0.364 ( χ2=971.232, P<0.001), respectively. After modifying with expert opinions, a final version of DRPs classification system was formed, which included 38 primary structure items in 5 categories and 90 secondary structure items in 3 categories. Conclusion:A DRPs classification system for outpatients and home patients suitable for China′s national conditions has been initially established, which can be used as a standardized recording tool for DRP.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy ofHejie Fenxiao Decoction on damp-heat patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods Totally 68 patients were divided into the control group and the treatment group according to the patients’ willings. Both groups were given treatment, such as elimination of the incentives and symptomatic treatment. Besides, patients of the treatment group acceptedHejie Fenxiao Decoction for 30 days. The changes of renal function indexes, such as serum creatinine (SCr), blood urine nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), albumin (ALB) and integral of TCM syndrome, were observed, and recovery ratio and clinical endpoints were compared.Results SCr and eGFR of both group were improved on day 14 (P<0.05). After treatment, the renal function recovery ratio and renal replacement ratio in the two groups showed obvious differences (P<0.05);although survival rate of treatment group was higher than control group, it showed no statistical significance (P>0.05);clinical endpoints analysis of the two groups showed statistical significance (P<0.05). The difference of integrals of TCM syndrome between the two groups showed statistical significance (P<0.05) on day 14.ConclusionHejie Fenxiao Decoction combined with basic regular Western medicine can better improve the clinical symptom, recover the renal function, and decrease the rate of renal replacement and death of AKI damp-heat patients.
